He's got a 917 area code and a ProtonMail address, and he's running pedicabs in the middle of the Texas Hill Country.
Alexander Strenger didn't take the conventional road to entrepreneurship. No website. No marketing playbook. No public footprint. Just a real, ground-level operation built on routes, permits, festival weekends, and the kind of work ethic that doesn't need an Instagram feed to back it up.
Judge and JD sit down with the man behind one of Fredericksburg's most unique small businesses and get into the full story, how a transplant from the East Coast ended up in one of the fastest-growing tourist markets in Texas, what it actually costs to run a hyperlocal mobility business (permits, insurance, dead seasons, and all), and what one big festival weekend like TRF really does for the bottom line.
Oh , and he's got a pedicab story that you won't forget.
This is what real entrepreneurship looks like. No pitch deck. Just the ride.

July 4 isn’t just a summer holiday, it’s a living inheritance, and we’re feeling that up close from Washington, DC. With America approaching the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we zoom in on a wild detail most people miss: Congress once debated Jefferson’s draft line by line, shaping the words that would define American freedom. That historical moment helps explain why a resurgence of patriotism can’t be shallow. It has to be rooted in truth, faith, and the ideas that made liberty possible in the first place.
From there, we share Good News Friday stories that point to cultural renewal. David Barton recounts an unexpected encouragement from inside the federal government: a large group of federal employees asking to hear why religion and morality must undergird education if we want a free nation. We also look at fresh polling that shows a gradual shift away from support for abortion through all nine months and talk honestly about what still needs to happen through law, persuasion, and clear church teaching.
We hit major headlines too: the World Bank backing off climate-loan rules under US pressure, and a Supreme Court Second Amendment decision involving marijuana use and gun rights that raises questions about inconsistent enforcement and the meaning of “law-abiding.” Then we end with a hopeful challenge for the church: Gen Z is showing up, but they need mentors and discipleship. John Adams had a blueprint for Independence Day that still cuts through the noise: celebrate boldly, and pair it with “solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”

This episode is all about how the lies we believe, eventually shape our reality.
The enemy rarely starts with your behavior—he starts with your identity.
He whispers lies like, "You're just an anxious person." "You're insecure." "You'll always struggle." And if you believe those lies long enough, they begin to shape the way you live.
What started as a season becomes an identity.What became an identity becomes a lifestyle.
But God doesn't call you by your struggle. He calls you by who He created you to be.
Because when identity changes, behavior follows.
We loveeeeee you
Jesus loves you more. -Ang & Ari
